GOP Rep introduces bill marking Cesar Chavez's birthday as 'National Border Control Day'
By Tal Axelrod - 03/29/19 04:20 PM EDT

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), a hardliner on immigration in Congress, introduced legislation Thursday marking labor and civil rights icon Cesar Chavez’s birthday as “National Border Control Day.”

The bill, submitted to the House Committee on Education and Labor, would cast the designation for Monday, March 31, which would have been Chavez’s 92nd birthday.

The bill comes as Republicans and Democrats find themselves polarized regarding immigration and are debating whether the government should work to curb immigration or grant legal status to undocumented migrants.

“Cesar Chavez’s lifelong work to protect American workers should be echoed and celebrated throughout America,” Gosar said in a statement Friday. “As open border Democrats continue to advocate against securing our southern border, it is critical to remember the damage illegal immigration does to legal American workers.”

In that light. I am forced to admit I did too.  From the gut.  Shhh!  don't tell anybody.  It'll ruin my reputation.

I'll wait until you're famous or nominated to the SCOTUS to come forward with it.

Well, except for the part where Chavez was decidedly anti-illegal-immigration.

lo siento @Sanguine.  I didn't even realize I insulted anti-illegal-immigration icon Cesar Chavez.  Thank you for point that out.
